A topochemical polymerization of a triacetylene has been achieved by the synthesis of a host molecule specifically designed to preorganize a triacetylene dicarboxylic acid guest in accordance with the exacting structural requirements needed for the reaction. Irradiation of the resulting host–guest complex using γ-rays yields a base-soluble polytriacetylene polycarboxylic acid (see picture). This study demonstrates the power of supramolecular synthesis as a preparative tool.
A series of five polydiacetylenes have been synthesized via topochemical polymerizations of the corresponding monomers. The requisite structural parameters for the polymerizatio...
The first topochemical 1,6-polymerization of a triene has been observed. The required supramolecular structure for this polymerization was achieved by the pi-pi stacking of the ...
To create a functionalized porous compound, amide group is used in porous framework to produce attractive interactions with guest molecules. To avoid hydrogen-bond formation bet...
Investigations on molecular variants of the 3-fold symmetric 1,3,5-tris(4-ethynylbenzonitrile)benzene crystallized with silver triflate revealed a nearly invariant pseudohexagon...
Steroidal cholamide (CAM) has been found to form inclusion crystals with 23 aromatic compounds in 1:1 and 2:1 host-to-guest molar ratios. The 1:1 crystals have guest-dependent h...
